Have you ever had a balloon before? I have. I loved balloons till my family went on a boat trip. In three days we saw 11 balloons just floating around in the ocean.
Balloons are fun until you accidentally let go and they float away. You think they just float up and go into outerspace, but you are incorrect. Most of those balloons float and as they lose their helium, land in the ocean. That is how it starts. Once they are in the ocean they are pretty hard to get back. We tried to get the 11 balloons we saw, but missed every single one. The balloons can kill some animals that live in the ocean water. Balloons are like plastic bags, they pollute the ocean a lot. Balloons can be fun to play with, but they can destroy ecosystems.
Animals can be tricked by the balloons. They think balloons and ribbons might be food. They eat those parts and they will die. One of those animals are sea turtles (my favorite animal). They think the balloon is a jellyfish and they eat it. Balloons can get stuck in sea grass that manatees eat. Balloons can also get stuck in coral reefs and the balloon slowly dissolves and the fish eat small parts of it.
We waste a lot of money buying balloons. Since balloons are full of helium, the balloon deflates slowly and after a few days, the balloon is totally flat. Balloons can easily pop. They are a choking hazard for little children.
People make so much money by selling balloons, since we buy so many, so we should stop buying balloons. Think twice about buying balloons for your next party.
